During a @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social public safety forum @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social repeats an attack on rival Andrew Cuomo from the Dem primary, that the former gov's cutting of the state Advantage housing voucher program in 2011 "led to a skyrocketing of homelessness here in New York City."

After days of denial, Mayor Eric Adams seemed to admit Friday that he is entertaining offers for other job opportunities, though he maintained that he continues to campaign robustly for re-election. www.amny.com/news/eric-ad...

As questions swirl around whether Mayor Adams will stay in the mayors race, amid reports he was offered a Trump admin job, Muslim leaders are endorsing his reelection bid at city hall.

Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday falsely labeled socialist Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani “a communist,” echoing one of Republican President Donald Trump’s frequent lines of attack against the City Hall frontrunner. www.amny.com/news/eric-ad...

Mayor Adams says Dem nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is "not a Democrat, he's a communist," when asked why Dem House Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Yvette Clarke have not endorsed. "It would be challenging to endorse his policies that are really anti-what working-class people want," he says.

Mayor Eric Adams today declined to say whether his ex-chief adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, is still volunteering on his long-shot reelection campaign just days after she was indicted on a slew of fresh bribery and conspiracy charges. www.amny.com/news/ex-adam...

At a news conference on "JOBS," mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo cautions against "anti-business rhetoric" — an obvious dig at dem socialist Zohran Mamdani. "They don't have to be here, and you know that's the case because they have been picking up and leaving," he says of businesses.

Last month, Gov. David Paterson urged all the mayoral candidates besides Dem nominee Zohran Mamdani to coalesce behind one contender. But today, Paterson said that idea is now “moot” and endorsed Eric Adams, the second-lowest-polling candidate. www.amny.com/politics/dav...

Went to Wegmans and got a few things, spent $27.25. Replicated the order on Instacart and the total was $47.84. Instacart is arguing that it's a lifeline for low income families, and that a worker minimum wage would force them to raise prices for consumers... how does this make sense? It doesn't!

Former Gov. and independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo is presenting his own affordability plan to counter Dem nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He says he would offer a 100% subsidy for low-income subway and bus riders. He says Mamdani's free bus plan "subsidizes the rich."

On Brian Lehrer, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social says he no longer believes what he said 5 years ago that the NYPD is "racist, anti queer and a major threat to public safety." Mamdani says his stance changed thru convos with officers during his time as an elected since 2021.

At the funeral for Officer Didarul Islam, who was killed in the Monday mass shooting, Mayor Adams "specifically" thanks the NYPD unit that responded to the incident, the Strategic Response Group. The same unit has often been criticized for using excessive force on protesters.

Dem mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani returned to the U.S. on Wednesday from a week-and-a-half-long trip to his home country of Uganda and was allowed through Customs without any incident. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

Does the Trump DOJ's recent decision to sue Mayor Adams over NYC sanctuary laws and Hizzoner's move calling on the feds to probe conditions inside an ICE lockup at 26 Federal Plaza signal that their relationship may be souring? If so, does that benefit Adams? www.amny.com/news/adams-t...

Last night's mass shooting that left 5 people dead, including an NYPD officer and the suspected gunman, drew immediate condolences from the leading general election mayoral candidates and has the potential to shake up a race that has already been a rollercoaster ride. www.amny.com/politics/may...

On Fox5, following a suit by the Trump admin to overturn NYC sanctuary laws yesterday, Mayor Adams says "the narrative is that we're just rolling over" for the Trump admin. "In those areas where we disagree, we're gonna fight on behalf of the city of NY."

Mayor Adams said he “follow(s) the rules” in response to a report that his campaign accepted new straw donations shortly after a federal judge dismissed his corruption case, which included charges his 2021 campaign used similar donations to conceal foreign contributions. www.amny.com/politics/may...

Cuomo is trying new tactics with his general election campaign, after suffering a crushing primary loss to Zohran Mamdani. He's hitting the streets and embracing the type of social media videos that helped propel Mamdani. Will it be enough for him to win? www.amny.com/politics/cuo...

“Pools are not a luxury, they are essential to communities, so to have this pool close on the first day the pools were supposed to open — that’s heartbreaking. And it’s salt in the wound to also learn that the pool won’t open until summer is almost over.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/17/r...

Mayor Adams’ uphill independent reelection bid raised $1.5 million over the past month, city Campaign Finance Board (CFB) data revealed Wednesday — one day after the panel again denied his claims for millions of dollars in public matching funds. www.amny.com/politics/ada...

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign late Tuesday described the democratic socialist candidate’s first of two major confabs with New York City’s business executives this week as a “constructive, honest discussion.” www.amny.com/politics/mam...

On Fox5 Andrew Cuomo says Zohran Mamdani, who handily beat him in last month's primary, "he articulates the problem what's bothering them, but his solutions are vapid. There's no there there." He says that he was not "aggressive enough" and "played it safe" in the primary.

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani said on Tuesday that he has a “desire for partnership” as he heads into high-stakes meetings with business leaders and Democratic Party bigwigs who have yet to endorse his candidacy this week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

Dem nominee Zohran Mamdaniis at DC37 HQ to accept the city’s largest municipal workers union’s endorsement in the general election. DC37 Prez Henry Garrido says Mamdani “expanded the electorate.”

Mayor Adams says "one thing we know who is unelectable is who lost by 12 points on election day," of Andrew Cuomo, who lost the Dem primary to Zohran Mamdani. He criticizes Cuomo for his "disrespect for Black electeds" for expecting Adams to step aside in the general.

Mayor Adams today urged Cuomo, who just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Dem nominee Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral primary, to drop out of the general election in order to give him a better shot at overtaking the democratic socialist lawmaker in November. www.amny.com/politics/ada...

Democratic mayoral nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made a show of force in a Wednesday rally with powerful labor unions that now support his campaign after some of them backed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s failed primary bid. www.amny.com/politics/mam...
